The laboratory door swung open with a loud bang, and a rush of cold air, carrying a strange metallic burnt smell, hit Lin Yuan square in the face, making him want to sneeze. "What is that smell? Are they conducting chemical weapon experiments here?" he complained while pinching his nose, resembling a hamster that had accidentally wandered into a gas chamber.
Inside was not at all what Lin Yuan had imagined; it wasn't filled with bizarre instruments or cages holding Rare Beasts. No, it resembled a minimalist art gallery, eerily spacious and unsettling.
At the center of the laboratory stood a massive spherical device. It looked like a giant metal egg, quietly floating in mid-air, its surface shimmering with an eerie blue glow, expanding and contracting as if it were breathing, almost mocking Lin Yuan's ignorance.
"What is this thing? Could it be an alien spaceship?" Lin Yuan's eyes widened in curiosity, much like an awestruck visitor entering a grand estate. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, only to be pulled back by Su Jiu'er.
Su Jiu'er appeared more composed as she carefully observed the spherical device, her brow slightly furrowed as if deep in thought. "According to the information I gathered from ancient texts, this should be the legendary 'Ling Domain Simulator,'" she said slowly, her tone grave like an archaeologist who had just unearthed a millennia-old tomb.
"Ling Domain Simulator? That sounds impressive! Is it used to simulate Lingyu? Does that mean we can train and level up inside, leading us to the pinnacle of life where we can marry rich beauties and become masters?" Lin Yuan rubbed his hands together excitedly, envisioning a bright future like a lottery winner.
Su Jiu'er shot him an exasperated glance. "You think too highly of yourself! The Ling Domain Simulator is no amusement park! It can artificially generate Lingyu, but it's also fraught with danger. A moment's carelessness could lead to your soul scattering into cosmic dust!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan deflated like a punctured balloon. "Then why are we here? Just for a tour? The ticket must be expensive!"
"Of course not! We must stop them from activating the Ling Domain Simulator!" Su Jiu'er declared firmly, like a warrior ready to head into battle.
Lin Yuan activated his Gazing Ability and scrutinized the Ling Domain Simulator. He discovered that its energy source was not merely Lingqi but an unknown energy. The fluctuations of this energy were entirely different from those of natural Spiritual Energy Fluctuation; it was akin to comparing heavy metal rock to classical music—worlds apart. Even more bizarrely, this energy seemed to be devouring the surrounding Lingqi like a greedy glutton, disrupting the balance of energy around it.
"Wait a minute, Su Jiu'er, don't you think there's something off about this energy? It writhes around like worms in my stomach; just looking at it makes me uncomfortable," Lin Yuan said, pointing at the Ling Domain Simulator with a hint of unease in his voice.
Su Jiu'er also activated her Lingqi sensing ability and carefully felt the energy fluctuations around them. Her expression grew serious as if she had just received bad news from a doctor. "Indeed, this energy fluctuation is strange—like some kind of Taboo Power... reminiscent of the legendary 'Chaotic Energy,' filled with instability and destructiveness."
“What is Taboo Power? Is it something that makes you have diarrhea?” Lin Yuan was completely confused, as if he were listening to an ancient text.
Su Jiu'er explained, “In the Ancient Texts, it is recorded that some powerful Cultivators, in pursuit of higher realms, would touch upon Taboo Power. However, this kind of power often comes with immense risks. Once it spirals out of control, it can lead to catastrophic consequences, much like opening Pandora's Box and unleashing endless disasters.”
“So this thing is a ticking time bomb! We need to dismantle it quickly, or the apocalypse will be upon us!” Lin Yuan suddenly understood, his tone laced with a hint of fear as he envisioned the destruction of the world.
At that moment, the laboratory's alarm system abruptly activated, its piercing sound echoing throughout the base, red lights flashing as if the end of the world had truly arrived. “Wah wah wah…” The alarm blared like a frantic rooster in Lin Yuan's ears, driving him to distraction.
“This is bad! We triggered the alarm! We're in deep trouble now!” Su Jiu'er’s expression changed, her voice tinged with urgency, like an ant on a hot pan.
“Quick, we need to get out of here! The best strategy is to flee!” Lin Yuan grabbed Su Jiu'er’s hand and dashed toward the laboratory exit like a startled rabbit.
However, the laboratory doors were tightly shut. Countless armed security personnel surged in from all directions, surrounding them completely, their dark gun barrels aimed at them as if they were about to be turned into Swiss cheese.
“It seems we've been caught like fish in a barrel…” Lin Yuan said with a wry smile, his tone filled with resignation, resembling a lamb awaiting slaughter.
Su Jiu'er appeared more composed. She pulled two daggers from her backpack and handed one to Lin Yuan. “Enough talk; prepare for battle! Today, it's either them or us!”
The two stood back to back, daggers in hand, their eyes resolutely fixed on the surrounding enemies like cornered beasts ready to fight.
